Mar del Plata has a sophisticated tourist infrastructure with numerous hotels, restaurants, casinos, theatres and other tourist attractions.

Astor Piazzolla

Astor Pantaleón Piazzolla (Spanish pronunciation:[piasola], Italian pronunciation:[pjattsɔlla]; March 11, 1921–July 4, 1992) was an Argentinetango composer, bandoneon player and arranger. His oeuvre revolutionized the traditional tango into a new style termed nuevo tango, incorporating elements from jazz and classical music. A virtuoso bandoneonist, he regularly performed his own compositions with a variety of ensembles.

In 1992, American music critic Stephen Holden described Piazzolla as "the world's foremost composer of tango music".

Biography

Childhood

Piazzolla was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, in 1921, the only child of Italian immigrant parents, Vicente "Nonino" Piazzolla and Asunta Manetti. His paternal grandfather, a sailor and fisherman named Pantaleo (later Pantaleón) Piazzolla, had immigrated to Mar del Plata from Trani, a seaport in the southeastern Italian region of Apulia, at the end of the 19th century. His mother was the daughter of two Italian immigrants from Lucca in Tuscany.

Mar Del Plata Travel Video

Mar del PlataTravelVideo, Four hundred kilometers from Buenos Aires lies Mar del Plata (Mardel), the premier Argentine beach destination for porteños. If you end up here on a summer weekend, youll be guaranteed to say Wow, this beach is crowded.
There might a couple of places where you could get in a few swimming strokes without taking somebodys eye out, but mostly its shoulder-to-shoulder, sun-frazzled bodies. After spending a few days on its comically packed sands, watching street performers on the beachside Plaza Colón or exploring the wonders of the port, however, you might get the sense of adoration that the country feels for this place.

My First Day in Buenos Aires

LOCATION: BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
Today we travel from Mar Del Plata to Buenos Aires! I’m so excited to explore this city, even though our trip starts off with a few bumps..
I’m not trying to paint a bad light on Buenos Aires or Argentina - I really love this city and my country. I am just simply recounting the story of what happened to us to you guys. While my dad and I were fine throughout this whole situation, I couldn’t help but think that the lady who was running the Airbnb we rented could have taken a little more care. We are two grown adults, imagine if you were a family travelling with a baby or a child? Maybe making this vlog will shed some light on the unexpected things that can happen while you’re travelling and maybe taking more precautions to avoid these situations.

Mar del Plata Adventure Trips, and especially outside of summer, the crowds disperse, hotel prices drop and the place takes on a more relaxed feel. And if summer crowds don't appeal, visit in spring or autumn, when prices are lower and the area's natural attractions are easier to enjoy. After all, Mardel is a large city and has attractions other than its beach.
